Equity Audit
To support belonging and engagement throughout the district, Monomoy Regional School District is undertaking an equity audit in 2025. Monomoy places students at the center of an educational partnership with caregivers and the community to create a welcoming and innovative learning environment that builds relationships, encourages curiosity, and elevates all students to achieve their full potential.
The Monomoy Regional School Committee included support of a district-wide equity audit in its goals for the 2024-2025 school year.
The equity audit, which will solicit feedback from faculty, students, parents and caregivers, and community members on school culture and leadership, will be conducted in partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium (MAEC) through the Center for Education Equity (CEE), the Region 1 Equity Assistance Center. The audit will include all of the Monomoy Regional School District schools. MAEC, which has collaborated with school districts and organizations nationwide – including Falmouth Public Schools and Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools in recent years – brings extensive experience to support Monomoy Regional School District in this equity audit.
The process will provide an opportunity to evaluate and celebrate areas of strength as well as identify areas of needed growth.
This project will be largely funded by the U.S. Department of Education through the Region 1 Equity Assistance Center, resulting in very little direct costs for the school district.
